Nancy Pelosi privately vented about having to "grovel" for another term as House speaker after the 2018 midterms and said "at this point in my life, I don't need this," according to a forthcoming book.

New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns pull back the curtain on Pelosi's internal frustrations in their forthcoming book "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," due for release on May 3. Punchbowl News reported on some excerpts of the book's reporting on Friday morning.

"The experience of begging for support was wearing on her," the authors wrote of Pelosi. "Pelosi was the only Democrat in the chamber - the only Democrat alive - who had already served as Speaker, who had shown she could do the legislative arithmetic and twist the necessary arms to get things done. And yet [her fellow Democrats] were making her grovel."

” Yeah, she would sell her soul, and the souls of every American, to the Devil, to remain speaker”

Too late, I think she already sold her soul a long while back.

Getting up every morning and submitting to the make up artist daily attempts to hide Pelosi’s age is taking longer and longer. The stress from questioning “will it still work” induces tremendous stress.

Pretending to be 45 takes extreme effort both mental and physical

That’s because she’s already collected her pay-to-play billions.

It will amount to nothing when she exits this earth.

Actually she’s running around the world now preparing herself in hopes she may actually be POTUS if they can figure out someway to move Biden and Harris out of the way.
